On Tuesday evening, at least six people died in Kerzers, west of Bern, due to a fire in a bus. Five people were injured, and three were taken to the hospital. The police are investigating the cause, suspect arson, and report six missing people.

The client council of ExpertCare wants care villas for sick children to remain open. ExpertCare said that in January. The House of Representatives also voted 75 to 74 against less funding for disability care.

Fuel prices are now slightly decreasing after earlier increases. At Sakko, petrol drops by 1 cent, and diesel by 4 cents. The cabinet will send a letter to the House of Representatives around the weekend.

The police arrested five teenagers for two violent robberies in Helmond and Gemert. The youths are between 13 and 16 years old and come from Veghel, Helmond, Gemert, and Zetten. A 64-year-old man and a 57-year-old woman were injured; the teenagers are in custody.
